This is a terrible deal. A good rule of thumb is the person who understands/controls the risk best should take it on. And your team who understands the code base best and has fixed these types of bugs before would know far better how long they should take than a new contractor.

I don't think there is any industry where work like this wouldn't be time and materials.
